Miss Lowry set the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons on her new TT bike (and borrowed wheels) taking minutes off her PB and chic-ing nearly all the guys. This result has prompted calls to create a separate league race for those who insist on turning up each week with new gear. Effectively the league is in the middle of a benign arms-race.
It is interesting to observe the multitude ways of shouting out one's race number at the finish line. On one end of the scale we have Enda shouting at 20 decibels, then we have the shy ones who whisper out their number to the wind and finally the breathless ones. Which are you?
